Event Fund seeks to bring attention to the often under-documented and invisibilized processes, technologies, people, and practices that undergird more inclusive and accessible data science event programming. In this post, we learn about "The CarpentryConnect South Africa" event, a two-week virtual convention in 2021 offering a series of workshops and networking opportunities for members of the South African Carpentries community. The event was significant as it was the first time a virtual CarpentryConnect was hosted in Africa.
Code for Science and Society is proud to announce its third cohort of Event Fund grant recipients! The 13 project teams in this cohort are located across 12 countries including Turkey, South Africa, USA, UK, Indonesia, Argentina, Ecuador, Uganda, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Brazil, and Pakistan.
This article summarizes some of the key points raised during a panel discussion entitled "Get the Money: Fiscal sponsorship and other ways to receive and administer grants and donations'' (April 2022). The seminar aimed to provide information on the operational work involved in running a grant-funded project, and to answer questions from current and future Event Fund grantees looking to establish an operational configuration best suited for receiving their funding.
These positions have been filled. We are looking for two people to join our operations team! These positions will support critical organization-wide processes. If you’re an operations person interested in building support systems for all the great people in our community, read on!
